By the way, I used Twitter since early 2007, shortly after it launched. Not even in the early days there was anything like this on Twitter.
It was refreshing at the time, compared to the things that were available. But there never was anything like the effervescent passion for creative cross-pollination and delightfully libertine thinking that happens on Mastodon as a matter of course.
Mastodon is nothing like Twitter, Mastodon is what Twitter should have been.
I like many things about Masto. But what I like most is that out-of-the-box, left-brain things happen often here. Like stumbling upon someone who understands a relatively obscure French film from 1996 based on an even more obscure 1916 French film, a guy who builds supercomputers as a hobby, a subculture that publishes poetry using the long-deceased, now-revived Gopher system.
And I could go on with the whimsical, and the unbounded creativity that emerges when the profit motive is removed.

Nerd and online communities are a ripe harvesting ground for neo-Nazism. Preventing society and subcultures from going gangrene is about knowing the warning signs, identifying it early, and preventing the spread. https://medium.com/@DeoTasDevil/how-white-nationalism-courts-internet-nerd-culture-b4ebad07863d
The #bookshop kobo.com sells lots of non-DRM eBooks! 
However, they also sell lots of DRM eBooks, all mixed together with the non-DRM, and no filter to sort them out 
This makes it very difficult to look for non-DRM books on #Kobo.
So, to solve this problem switching.social presents the Unofficial Kobo Search page, which lets you find non-DRM books available on your country's Kobo site:

Any feedback very welcome.

The main Google integration is GCM and that only applies if you installed from Google Play.
So basic opsec with the Riot app is to only install it from f-droid and prefer xmpp when possible.

@mike_hales @mako Cooperatives are a social hack. We create structures to fulfill our aspirations and to protect them from the lesser aspects of human nature. Our success at this is mixed, but we keep learning & keep trying.
I love this project: a riverbed in Amsterdam was drained and the ~700,000 found objects dating from the 1300s to present were photographed and presented online:
This is a good opportunity to follow US drone whistleblower Cian Westmoreland (@weltschmerzundsonder) and to re-watch his talk from #33C3:

Also, if you haven't done so yet, please watch the movie "National Bird" by Sonia Kennebeck. Highly recommended.
Yeah, that's still a terrifying violation of our privacy.
This is evil.

@Jo Interesting "turn around" strategy that, including a game named "Pridefest", a Pride Parade simulator.

@Jo I didn't know this, but digging in the Alice rabbit hole you showed me earlier, I found out that the French sofware company Infogrames were one of the early game developers for that lovely machine, and that Infogrames (in some zombie form at least) still exists as part of Atari SA of France.

Wow. I've been head in the sand for the last few years and not following what's going on with Blender. Huge things are happening! https://www.blender.org/2-8/
The new realtime rendering and 2d drawing tools are amazing looking
